Magnonics is an emerging engineering subfield that targets high-speed, high-efficiency information encoding without the energy loss that burdens electronics.
In collaboration with scientists in Germany, our researchers have taken magnonics a step closer toward real-world application by demonstrating that the spiral geometry of tiny, twisted magnetic tubes can be leveraged to transmit data based on magnons.
#Magnon-based #computation could signal computing paradigm shift
"The promise of this #technology for more sustainable computing is huge. With this publication, we are hoping to reinforce interest in wave-based computation, and attract more young researchers to the growing field of #magnonics."

Like electronics or photonics, magnonics is an engineering subfield that aims to advance information technologies when it comes to speed, device architecture, and energy consumption. A magnon corresponds to the specific amount of energy required to change the magnetization of a material via a collective excitation called a spin wave.
